Well grounded in the foundations of modern business
theory and practices, the Accounting degree at Methodist University
prepares students for career paths in a wide range of industries.
Students will focus on general business knowledge and market fundamentals
before moving on to more advanced study of accounting principles,
individual and corporate taxation, asset management, and cost control.
Students completing the degree requirements in Accounting will find
themselves well prepared for the workplace or graduate study. Accounting
majors are among the most sought after and well compensated graduates
in today’s business world, and the continued expansion of global
commerce will only increase demand.

The Accounting degree program, like all Reeves School
of Business programs, places an emphasis on practical application
of theory and principles to prepare students to succeed in the workplace.
Students will work in teams to develop their abilities in accounting
as well as leadership and management. Student/ Professor collaboration
on research, community enrichment projects, and cultural exploration
foster an increased sense of community and real world scholarship.
